Worldwide support for
Food Banks by IFCO SYTEMS Group. Free provision of IFCO
PRCs and co-financing
of refrigerated vans.

PULLACH, GERMANY, January 21st, 2016: IFCO
SYSTEMS, the leading global provider of reusable packaging solutions, has
donated more than 200,000 RPCs (Reusable Plastic Containers) to food banks
since the start of its initiative for the support of food banks. Wolfgang
Orgeldinger, CEO of the IFCO SYSTEMS Group, said: “In many countries of the
world, the food banks make an excellent contribution to supply food to people
in need. In addition, with their work they help to avoid that good foodstuff is
wasted, ending up in the garbage bin." IFCO provides the food banks on a
free-of-charge basis with IFCO RPCs for the collection and distribution of food
and, in addition, supports the food banks with the voluntary work of IFCO
employees and by co-financing refrigerated vans. “We strongly believe in the
food bank activities, and our products and services can be used by the food
banks in an optimal way, helping them with their work. We therefore concentrate
all our social activities on the food banks and globally support them in all
countries where we are active", Mr Orgeldinger added.

Thus the food banks received
ample support in 2015. IFCO Germany
added 20 more food banks to those already supported by the company. The free
provision of RPCs helps to organise the food bank processes and contributes to
clearly reduce or even avoid the costs for the disposal of one way cartons. 4
new refrigerated vans were bought within the framework of the cooperation with
the Bundesverband
Deutsche Tafel e.V. (Federal Association of German Food Banks) for the
co-financing of refrigerated vans.

In Austria, a new refrigerated van for the Viennese food bank was
co-financed and delivered to the general manager of the Viennese food bank, Dr.
Alexandra Gruber, in October 2015.

IFCO France supported the Banque Alimentaire (www.banquealimentaire.org/) with regular donations of RPCs. Once a year, on the last weekend of
November, a national campaign is started by the Banque Alimentaire in big supermarkets with the aim of collecting
donated food items that are subsequently distributed to people in need via
humanitarian organizations or charities. Also last year, the whole team of IFCO
France helped to collect food donations in an Intermarché supermarket. Within 2
days, the team collected 2,630 tons equaling approx. 5,260 meals (up 13.1% from
the previous year).

IFCO Italy supported the Banco
Alimentare (www.bancoalimentare.it) with the financing of food
vouchers for people in need. This donation by IFCO Italy was made possible also
thanks to customers who accepted to receive their Christmas greetings by email
instead of printed cards. With this Christmas email, the customers were also
invited by IFCO to make donations to the Banco
Alimentare themselves.

IFCO UK intensified the cooperation
with the Trussell Trust in 2015 with
the clear objective of increasing the use of RPCs in their network. A total of 15,000
new RPCs were donated, by the help of which the Trussell Trust succeeded in occupying storage space in a more
efficient way and reducing the amount of waste that would otherwise have been
caused by the use of one-way packaging. More than 40,000 plastic containers
have already been donated since the beginning of the cooperation. In addition, IFCO UK also supports the Trussell Trust with a long-time program
for the financing of refrigerated vans for food banks. In 2015, a Mercedes
Sprinter was delivered to the Brent
Foodbank. In December, employees of IFCO UK participated once again at the
yearly Christmas basket campaign of the Tower
Hamlets Foodbank and helped with the preparation and distribution of
Christmas baskets to people in need.

In South America, employees of IFCO BRASIL continued their regular support for the Ong Banco de Alimentos(www.bancodealimentos.org.br/). About 650 new RPCs were
donated.

IFCO Spain supported the food banks in
Madrid, Huelva and Asturias with RPC donations. In a similar way, also
last year IFCO North America continued
to support food banks with money and donations in kind, in the form of RPCs.

“From our point of view, the
work of the food banks is a very important contribution to support people in
need all over the world. IFCO will therefore continue its successful
cooperation with the food banks also in 2016", said Wolfgang Orgeldinger.
